Red face introducing...me
I stumbled across this site tonight....thought I would join and try to meet some new people to talk to.

I was baptized back in 04 by a wonderful missionary....still talk sometimes too. I entered the church a bit hesitantly...no friends or family with me. After a calling and classes and things going fine I gradually went to meetings less and less.

We all have our reasons for leaving the church - but I miss it now and then.

Just hoping to find someone to chat to - a tangible conversation I suppose. I often think of going back but feel awkward about it.

Welcome to the site, thalia. Being the lone member in a family can be difficult. Lots of people here to talk with, though.

Hello Thalia,


Welcome to the site, there are a lot of members on this site that are from Canada.
Don't worry about going back to church, I'm sure people there are going to welcome you and make you feel at home.

Welcome to the site thalia.....

Rough to not have friends or family around to go to church with.... I remember the feeling, what calling did you have? And what part of church do you miss now and then? I ask cause I care

Hi Lindy,

I cant honestly say that I miss the people. The looks , the isolation. I went to a family ward......the YSA was just too far of a drive. I never really fit in and always felt like a moron. I didnt have home teachers - or if I did I have no idea who they were, same for visiting teachers.

I would get so discouraged -for example at institute....how the teaching would say "and every remembers the story of so n so and what happend".....and I would have no idea what theyre talking about.

For whatever reason they decided I should teach the gospal principals class....Id teach one week the missionaries would teach the next. ....its funny. Even the mission president at the time gave me two huge boxes of books on teaching at my baptism.

Im not terribly sure what I miss - no real words for that...just lots for what I dont miss.

Hopefully some of that will make sense.
